I unzipped the file and ran the example pub from the plugin directory and it worked fine, so it doesn't sound like a problem with the path to the dll or the tessdata dir, or it wouldn't work for me. Running win7 ultimate 32bit.

Maybe permissions? Or try copying the dll to the system32 dir?

Also, I ran a test on an image with text and graphics. It ocr'ed the graphics as binary symbols. Is there a way to filter out graphics leaving just the text?

The only thing that plugin don't work is not finding the tesseract.dll and/or the tessdata folder Please COMPILE the example pub, put the EXE in a folder In that folder, put tesseract.dll and the TESSDATA folder, with the files that in the zip so the structure will be

I had done this all.
I am not a beginner in debugging and testing, so it is not that easy reason that it does not work. I tried also to switch region settings without success.
(Standalone EXE from tesseract distribution works for me.)

Since it happens no crashing or other visible problem in the debugger it is hard to tell. Simply nothing happens. There seems some cpu-action and it comes back to neobook, but without any output.

So can you add some log-file/log-variable with a debugging option?
Maybe a variable to turn this on like tmOCRDebugOn.
Then report each successfull step or problem to this log/variable so we can have client-side debugging?
Or make a privat build with such debuging feature and send a download-link for testing.

Does it work for the other user with problems now?
What is the enviroment/country of the other user?

PS: Will there be a command to unload/delete the plugin?

Edit: Also I replaced the Text 'Error variable' in Object Text6 to [Rectangle_Host.tmOCRLastError]. Then I also see that it return from 'RECOGNIZE' with '000 OK'

Ok, I finally got it working. The problem was the different path in the compiler. Should have checked that sooner. Then I had tweaked several things while trying to fix it and had to get them back to where they were supposed to be. Then it worked.

Very good.
